Since first piece of integrated circuit is born, integrated circuit technique develops all along the track of " mole theorem ", mesh The size of preceding semiconductor transistor has accomplished 28nm, 22nm, and transistor size can constantly reduce, the lower power supply of demand Voltage and threshold voltage, but traditional MOS structure has reached the limit, and the generation of low threshold voltage is more and more difficult.This is Because threshold voltage reduces, (Ion/Ioff, wherein Ion are ON state current to on-off ratio, and Ioff is off-state current, and grid voltage is big Ion is obtained in threshold voltage, grid voltage obtains Ioff less than threshold voltage) also to reduce, longer switch time can be caused.
Simultaneously because conventional MOS FET subthreshold swing slope S S is limited by thermoelectrical potential kT/q and can not be with device The diminution of part size and synchronously reduce so that device Leakage Current increases, and the energy consumption of whole chip constantly rises, and chip power-consumption is close Degree increased dramatically, and seriously hinder application of the chip in the system integration.In order to adapt to the development trend of integrated circuit, tunnelling field Effect transistor (TFET, tunneling field-effect transistor) is suggested.Tunneling field-effect transistor (TFET) be essentially gate control p-i-n diode, the doping type in its source region and drain region is opposite.For N-type TFET, Source region is p-type heavy doping, and drain region is N-type heavy doping;For p-type TFET, source region is N-type heavy doping, and drain region is that p-type is heavily doped It is miscellaneous.Source region causes TFET to form the working mechanism different from MOSFET, i.e. carrier quantum tunnel with drain region doping type difference Mechanism is worn, is referred to as band-to-band-tunneling.For N-type TFET, the electronics at the source region conduction band bottom tunnelling under grid electric field action Into drain region valence band, tunnelling current is formed, tunelling electrons flow to drain region and form drain current in the presence of drain voltage.Due to It is different from MOSFET working mechanisms, so TFET is not limited by kT/q, its subthreshold swing SS<60mV/dec, it can reduce Device static leakage current.
The tunnelling direction of carrier during TFET work and grid electric field not in the same direction, that is, put tunnelling machine at present System.Therefore, in the prior art, cause carrier tunnelling probability relatively low using a tunneling mechanism so that TFET has tunnelling current The shortcomings that small.Meanwhile the overlapping region between source region and grid region is limited so that tunnelling area is smaller, and tunneling current density with Tunnelling area and tunnelling probability are directly proportional, so, cause relatively low tunnelling current.
